"I think it's good luck," a tenured professor at the Mayo Clinic said.
Indeed, this was the common thought of everyone present.
The surgeon's luck was really too good! It was so good that it made people envious!
All these years, the Mayo Clinic had been researching new surgical methods for TIPS surgery.
For example, the portal vein catheterization used as a marker and then found a puncture point from the hepatic vein to perform a new surgical method was first developed by the Mayo Clinic.
After using the new surgical method, the process of blind puncture of the TIPS surgery had been greatly improved.
After all, there was a special catheter in the portal vein as a marker. There was a target.
In the past, the failure rate of blind puncture was especially high. It could only rely on the surgeon's rich experience and luck.
With the marker, the success rate had increased a lot. The average success rate of blind puncture had been reduced from about 20 needles to 4-5 needles.
Although it was impossible to achieve a 100% success rate due to the diameter and blood flow of the special marker catheter, it was an extremely important milestone in the development of TIPS surgery.
The Mayo Clinic did not dare to guarantee that one needle would be successful, not even five.
However, the surgeon in the video was so confident that one needle would be successful!
This was something that the doctors at the Mayo Clinic could not accept at all.
Luck was good. It seemed that they could only judge it this way.
"Is there anything else?" another doctor asked with a serious expression.
One surgery did not mean anything. They had to watch more surgery videos.
"Let me ask." Wu Chuntian stood up and went out with his phone.
..
..
Chief Qi stood in the operating room and chatted with Chief Liu.
Suddenly, his phone rang. He picked it up and frowned as he walked out of the operating room.
"Old Wu, what's wrong?" Chief Qi asked.
"Are there any more surgical videos?" the other side asked.
"I think I did eight or nine today. There must be more." Chief Qi heard a trace of anxiety and impatience in Wu Chuntian's tone. He could not help but feel secretly happy.
Especially when he thought of the group of students in the United States who had arrogant faces during their class reunion. This Wu Chuntian worked at the Mayo Clinic and his chin was raised to the sky.
Last year, he wanted to send a few people to the Mayo Clinic to learn through his channels, but he was perfunctory.
He did not expect that he would have such a day!
"Old Qi, please send me the video again," Wu Chuntian said.
"Hehe." Principal Qi let out a steady and meaningful laugh.
"Old Qi, this is a serious matter. It's not a joke," Wu Chuntian said.
"The video recording of the surgery process must be fully communicated with the patient's family, and the hospital must also waive part of the fees. Otherwise, there might be trouble in the future, "Chief Qi said.
But he didn't want to be too embarrassed, so he said, "But since you said it, Old Wu, I'll definitely do it."
"Thank you, thank you." Wu Chuntian rarely asked for help, so he was at a loss.
"It's okay. There won't be many patients who can record the video of the surgery. You know that the country is still very conservative," Chief Qi said slowly.
Wu Chuntian was so anxious that he was about to go crazy. He really wanted to see if the brand-new TIPS surgery method could achieve a hundred percent completion rate.
He did not think that Chief Qi had said that on purpose. He pondered for a moment and said, "I'll do some work on my side. I'll increase the quota of people going abroad that I mentioned previously to four. What do you think?"
"You're treating me like an outsider." Chief Qi had achieved his goal, so he did not go overboard. He immediately said, "That's it then. I'll go and do the work of the patient's family."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
He walked back to the operating room with a smile. The office director saw that the chief was in a good mood. Just as he was about to come up and flatter him, he was chased away by Chief Qi to organize the surgery recording.
The third TIPS surgery had already begun. Gao Shaojie's technique was becoming more and more proficient.
He had accidentally hit Gao Shaojie with the hemostatic forceps just now, so he immediately apologized. Gao Shaojie was a little absent-minded, but his progress was obvious.
Zheng Ren was surprised and a little happy. Old Gao was a stubborn person. He had mastered the new approach of TIPS surgery in a short period of time.
In a while, he would look at his technique and remind him of a few key points. He reckoned that he would be able to handle the second-stage surgery.
..
In the Mayo Clinic, everyone was watching the video again.
Actually, there was nothing to see. At most, they were just watching the show.
The surgeon … the assistant. What method did he use to find the puncture point? Everyone was still confused.
There were some descriptions in the journal, but they were not very detailed. It was simply a fantasy to study the process of a new surgical method with the journal as the center.
Soon, the email was sent again.
Wu Chuntian eagerly clicked on the email and downloaded the video.
The internet speed in the Mayo Clinic was extremely fast, but Wu Chuntian still felt that the download time this time was too long. It was so long that he could not bear it.
Finally, the download was completed.
Wu Chuntian clicked on the video and watched it quietly.
There was nothing new about the surgery. A patient lay on the operating table. Then, the surgeon began to lay out the sheet. The 'assistant' stood in front of the radiographic film viewer and rested his chin on his hand.
It was as if the film was a playboy, a dragon, a tiger, and a leopard. No matter how he looked at it, he could not get enough of it.
It was no different from the previous video. The surgery went very smoothly. The only difference was that this time, the hemostatic forceps in the assistant's hand did not come in handy.
The puncture kit was done in one fell swoop, followed by a membrane stent and a recyclable stent.
It was simple … It even gave people a monotonous feeling.
Was this still a TIPS surgery? Why did it look simpler than a cyst puncture under an ultrasound?
Under the ultrasound, the cyst puncture also had to be washed with alcohol or a substitute to achieve the goal of hardening.
The TIPS surgery in the video was just needle insertion, puncture, stent removal, and the surgery was over.
Mu Tao suddenly thought of a joke.
How many steps were needed to put an elephant in the refrigerator?
Yes, everyone knew that the steps were that simple, but no one in the world could do it. Of course, there was no refrigerator that big.
That was why it looked so magical.
The second surgery video was still simple and clear. It was so simple that it made many doctors in the Mayo Clinic want to cry.
It was a skill to turn complexity into simplicity.
After the video was played, everyone stared at the computer screen with their mouths agape. At this time, no one was in the mood to comment or replay the video.
There was really nothing to watch.
Even if they watched the simplest steps ten thousand times, they would not be able to understand the principle behind it no matter what.
The laboratory was silent. The low rustling sound of the electric current was so clear.
"Dong ~" The sound of an email rang. Everyone who was deep in thought was startled.
Wu Chuntian clicked on the email, opened it, and played the video.
It was still such a boring surgery video, as if it was exactly the same as the previous two, simple and plain.
The only thing that could be proven in a few videos was that it was published in The
The article in Medicine was correct, and it had been tested by countless surgeries.
A brand-new, new surgical method that subverted the old TIPS surgery had appeared!
